Characteristics of clinical and neuroimage findings in patients with corticobasal syndrome / 中华神经科杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimage characteristics in patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and to elucidate the exact diagnosis of CBS patients.Methods:Twelve CBS cases admitted to the Department of Neurology, Huashan Hosiptal,Fudan University from April 2019 to July 2021 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Those data, including clinical features (demographic data and clinical characteristics of cortical dysfunction and movement disorder), neuropsychological assessment [Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scales score], brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multi-mode positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, were collected and carefully reviewed. Exact diagnosis of these patients was given according to the disease diagnosis criteria.Results:Cortical dysfunction and asymmetrical movement disorders were found in all cases, with poor response to levodopa. Patients suffered from cognitive impairment (MMSE score 16.16±9.82, MoCA score 13.44±7.35). The cranial MRI demonstrated significant asymmetric atrophy of frontal and parietal lobes, especially in the pre- and post-central gyrus. Fluorodeoxyglucose PET of 12 patients showed asymmetric frontal lobe and basal ganglia (especially caudate and putamen) hypometabolism (obviously on the contralateral side of the affected limb). Tau PET was implemented in 11 patients and displayed that abnormal tau protein deposition was positive in the cortex and/or subcortex in all patients. Of the 4 cases, who completed amyloid PET, amyloid protein deposition was positive in the cortex of 2 patients. As a result, 6 patients were diagnosed as progressive supranuclear palsy, 1 patient was diagnosed as corticobasal degeneration, and 5 patients were diagnosed as Alzheimer′s disease.Conclusions:The etiology of CBS is heterogeneous. The combination of clinical manifestation, cranial MRI and multi-mode PET/CT helps the differential diagnosis of CBS.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in a rat model of thin endometrium based on HOXA10 regulatory network / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Thin endometrial diseases are a challenge in clinical treatment at present. Scholars have found that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation has its unique curative effect and advantages, but few studies have been conducted on pathway or gene control. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of BMSCs transplantation in rats with thin endometrium based on the HOXA10 regulatory network. METHODS: Twenty-one adult female Sprague-Dawley rats of SPF grade (provided by the Animal Experimental Center, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine in China) were randomly divided into three groups (n=7/group): control group, model group, and BMSCs group. In the latter two groups, a thin endometrium model was prepared in each rat by filling the uterine cavity with 95％ ethanol. In the control group, normal saline was injected to fill the uterine cavity of rats. After extraction of ethanol or normal saline, the rats in the BMSCs group were injected intrauterinely with 1 mL of BMSCs suspension (1×1010 cells/L) , and those in the control and model groups were given the same volume of normal saline. After two estrous cycles, the uterus of each rat was removed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to measure the thickness of the endometrium. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of vimentin, keratin, vascular endothelial growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor and integrin αvβ3. qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative transcription of HOXA10 and miR-196 b. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the control group, the endometrial thickness of the rats were significantly thinner in the model and BMSCs groups (P < 0.05) , while the endometrial thickness in the BMSCs group was thicker than that in the model group (P < 0.05). (2) The mean absorbance values of endometrial vimentin, keratin, vascular endothelial growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor and integrin αvβ3 were highest in the control group, higher in the BMSCs group and lowest in the model group, and there were significant differences between groups (P < 0.05). (3) The relative transcript level of HOXA10 gene in the model and BMSCs group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the relative transcript level of HOXA10 gene in the BMSCs group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P < 0.05). The relative transcript level of miR-196 b in the model and BMSCs groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05) , while the relative transcript level of miR-196 b in the BMSCs group was lower than that in the model group (P < 0.05). (4) HOXA10 was negatively correlated with miR-196 b gene, HOXA10 was positively correlated with the protein expression to different extents, and miR-196 b gene was negatively correlated with the protein expression to different extents. These findings suggest that BMSCs transplantation can improve the endometrial thickness and relevant protein levels of thin endometrium rats to some extent, which may be attributed to the negative regulation of HOXA10 gene by miR-196 b, and HOXA10 gene further promotes the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor and integrin αvβ3 proteins.

Human amniotic epithelial cells:culture technology optimization and biological characteristics / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:As current studies on isolation, culture andcryopreservation of human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) are relatively scattered, it is difficult to form a comprehensive and effective solution to meet the clinical needs of stem cells for transplantation in future.OBJECTIVE:To establish the technology of isolation, culture and cryopreservation of hAECs, and to study the biological characteristics of hAECs.METHODS:Orthogonal method was used to study the effects of different factors on the separation, culture and cryopreservation, and range method was adopted to analyze the data to optimize the separation, culture and cryopreservation. We performed cell primary and passage cultures, morphology observed by microscope, drawn cell growth curve and flow cytometry assay, immunofluorescence staining, hepatocyte like cell differentiation to study the biological characteristics of hAECs.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The optimal hAECs separation conditions were as follows:trypsin digestions were conducted at a concentration of 0.25%, four times, once for 20 minutes digestion; optimal conditions of culture were 4×108/L cell seeding density, 10 μg/L epidermal growth factor, 5% serum; optimal conditions of cryopreservation were 1×1010/L cell cryopreservation density, 10% dimethyl sulfoxide, 80% serum. (2) The primary cells were adhered to the wall in 2-3 days, exhibiting irregular polygon, paving stone-like growth. Cell adherence and growth rate were accelerated after subculture, and the growth and proliferation ability of passage 2 cells were not significantly decreased after cryopreservation and resuscitation. (3) Immunofluorescence staining showed that the primary cells strongly expressed SSEA-4 and CK19, but did not express Vimentin, CD45 and HLA-DR. The immunophenotype statistics of the primary and passage 4 cells showed the epithelial mesenchymal transition of hAECs in culture process. (4) Immunofluorescence staining showed that the liver cell marker expression of ALB, CK18 was significantly increased after hAECs were induced to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells. Glycogen staining revealed glycogen synthesis in hAECs after 3 weeks of induction. To conclude, hAECs are easy to obtain and have strong proliferation ability in vitro, and express surface markers for undifferentiated embryonic stem cells.

Relation of CAG Repeat Polymorphism of AR Gene in Men of Han Nationality from Northern China to the Effectiveness of Hypoxic Training / 中国运动医学杂志

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of (CAG)n polymorphism in the exonl of the androgen receptor (AR) gene and its relation to the sensitivity of hypoxic training in men of Han nationality from northern China. Methods Sixty five healthy young men of Han nationality completed HiHiLo training under simulated normobaric hypoxic environment for 4 weeks. They stayed under the condition of 14.3-14.8% O_2 (simulating 2800～3000m) during nighttime and carried out hypoxic training under the condition of 14.8-15.4% O_2 (simulating 2500～2800m) 3 times per week at the intensity of 75% individual VO_2max. VO_2max and body weight of the subjects were measured. GeneScan method was used to identify the repeat alleles (genotypes) of CAG polymorphism. Results (1) Fifteen alleles (CAG)12,(CAG)16-28,(CAG)30 repeat alleles (genotypes) were observed in the subjects, in which (CAG)22 was the most common allele; (2) When 21 and 22 alleles were used as the cut point, the baseline of body weight in those carrying shorter genotypes was significantly lower than that in those carrying longer genotypes; (3) △VO_2max and △rVO_2max in men carrying shorter genotypes were significantly higher than that in men carrying longer genotypes after hypoxic training. Conclusion The result reveals that AR (CAG)n polymorphism is associated with the sensitivity of simulated normobaric hypoxic HiHiLo training in men of Han nationality from northern China, especially in those carrying shorter genotypes of AR CAG.

LITERATURE EVALUATION: The articles collected were prospective cohort studies on association of gene polymorphism with some physiological and biochemical parameters response to physical training. DATA SYNTHESIS: ①The individual variation responded to physical training in physiological and biochemical parameters are mostly determined by genetic factors, such as gene polymorphism.②Recently, there are lots of studies on association of gene polymorphism with physiological and biochemical parameters response to endurance training, strength training and hypoxia training.③Mostly studies indicate that there are associations among physiological and biochemical parameters response to endurance training, strength training and hypoxia training and I/D polymorphism in ACE gene, C1772T in HIF-1? gene and so on. CONCLUSION: Although gene polymorphism is a genetic marker of determining the physiological phenotype of human, the various genetype of the same gene polymorphism can cause different sensitivity change of physiological phenotype in the different races response to training. With the research progress on association between gene polymorphism and physical training sensitivity, it will indicate its related mechanism.
